Derek Paterson

I am a 24 year old primary school teacher from Toronto, Canada. I moved to London almost 2 years ago to start my career. I started painting in university with acrylics while receiving my teaching degree with a minor in geography and haven't looked back. I'm greatly tied to landscapes and outdoors through my love for running. Between my time spent in Canada, England and a great deal of travelling, I've developed an appreciation for landscapes and as such, have set out to capture their varying textures, colours and individuality.
